Episode 3 was dope

Idk why yall was hatin

I didnt find nothing wrong with anyones acting but the kid Anakin in ep 1

91 reasons to hate Revenge of the Sith

Most of it is nitpicking but you'll get the idea lol

But seriously tho I almost had to turn the movie off when Obi said "Anakin the Sith are evil!"

And Anakin dead ass with a straight face responds

"Well from my point of view the Jedi are evil."






He said that ? .

To be fair, the Jedi code was seen as callous to some extent and not everyone viewed them as good guys. From Anakin's perspective, the Jedi had the power to save people, Padme in particular, but chose not to do it solely to uphold a code. The line seems corny, but it's actually supposed to clue you in on a truth that the movies don't really go into too much. The Jedi vs Sith isn't as simple as saying Good vs Evil.

Except the originals spent time painting the wonderfulness of the Jedi and the evil of the Sith and created nostalgia for the days of the Jedi

Yeah Anakin could've said something in reference to saving padme over anything else or something but hey..

I know people were talking about the Star Wars cartoons. Watching the Clone Wars series will impact how you see the Revenge of the Sith movie. On one hand, Anakin will just seem wrong in the movie because in the cartoon he comes of as reckless, but much more mature and experienced. In the movie, he just seems like a whiny brat. The movie is what gets it wrong though because he is canonically supposed to have been a battle worn hero after the wars. On the flipside though, it adds a lot more impact to Anakin's fall. Again, he was an annoying brat in the movie, so when he fell, it was like "Ok, we saw that coming." However, coming from the cartoons, he seemed like a stronger person and one that could overcome those temptations.

They really did ? up the prequel trilogy. And I don't say that because I think it was bad. I think mediocre is more accurate. The reason I say they ? it up is because it could have been so much better.

He would've been more like his cartoon counterpart if padme didn't get pregnant. That threw him off plus those visionsnhe kept getting about padmes death add to the fact that the emperor kept getting in his head about the Jedi. He was more like the anakin from the cartoon in the first 20 minutes of the movie during the space battle and the fight with count dooku.

Nah, it's different. You miss out on some context in the movies. For example, think about Anakin's betrayal of Mace. It's understandable to some extent that he would do that because he thought Mace was going to ? his only shot at saving Padme. But if you've seen the Clone Wars, you understand it's deeper than that. From Anakin's standpoint, the Council had already betrayed him, and Mace was the harshest of all the council members. In the Clone Wars, you see that Anakin was basically the key to victory. He was part of virtually every major battle and he was pivotal in all the victories. Then when the war is over, the Council refuses to make him a Master and show him the respect he feels he deserves, and their reasons come down to the very same things that made him successful in the war. There is a hypocrisy there. They had no problem embracing Anakin's questionable qualities to win the war, but then when the war is over, they more or less turned their back on him. That's what the Emperor really keyed on to turn him. It didn't play out like that in the movie though. In the movie, you don't really get that impression. You really don't understand why Anakin would even have the expectation that he could be a Master.

Another problem is the movie still portrays Anakin as being under Obi Wan, so he still comes off looking like an inexperienced brat. After the Clone Wars, Anakin should be recognized on the same level as Obi Wan. He operated independently from Obi Wan more often than not and had is own Padawan. They just ? it up plain and simple.

Anakin was supposed to be the hero of the PT who fell in the end. You never really see him as a hero in the movies, so when he falls, it doesn't impact you.

Yeah, they wouldn't have been that successful in the clone wars without Anakin and every time someone needed saving he saved them and brought them victory. He also defeated Count Dooku in which Obi-Wan Kenobi was useless once again, clearly showing he surpassed his master.

Reason he Anakin lost was because he became blind, was highly ? off and angry, and arrogant.

Both explanations are good I also want to add it was sideous who was giving anakinn those night mares and padmedidnt die of heart break it was sideous who drained her life force

Where do you get that from

Disney's Young Han Solo Search Narrows to Final Shortlist of Actors After Screen-Tests



Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Lucasfilm and Disney are getting close to finding their Han Solo.

Chewie, we’re almost home.

The search for the young actor who will fill Han Solo's leather vest could be in its final stages, as multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that a shortlist quietly has emerged.

According to sources, last weekend in London tests were conducted involving actors Alden Ehrenreich, who did scene-stealing work in Hail, Caesar!; Jack Reynor, best known for his work in Transformers: Age of Extinction; and Taron Egerton, the star of The Kingsman and Eddie the Eagle.

Sources say there could be a few other names on the list, though due to the high level of secrecy on all Star Wars projects, it’s hard to ascertain them. Disney declined to comment.

Those who tested — and it’s unclear if these were costume tests or screen tests — were plucked from a previous group of around 10 actors who met with the directors. Among the names whispered to have met are Miles Teller, the Whiplash star who appears in the Divergent movies; and Ansel Elgort, the Fault in Our Stars star who also is in the Divergent movies.

Emory Cohen, who played Saoirse Ronan’s love interest in the Oscar-nominated Brooklyn, also tested. Actors from Richard Linklater’s new movie Everybody Wants Some also had meetings, according to sources.

Disney and Lucasfilm have searched from Alderaan to Yavin to find the new star, with sources saying that more than 2,500 actors have either met with those in charge of casting or put themselves on tape, becoming part of one of the widest casting calls ever.

As THR reported in December, Disney cast a wide net to find the right actor to play a younger version of the character made famous by Harrison Ford in 1977's Star Wars: A New Hope, as well as The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and 2015's The Force Awakens.

The character will debut in a Star Wars spinoff movie being made by Disney, Lucasfilm and filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 Jump Street, The Lego Movie) and scheduled for 2018.

Ford's swaggering Solo is considered a standout character of the seven-film Star Wars series. The 73-year-old actor’s appearance as Solo in The Force Awakens was a major factor in the movie’s critical and commercial success.
